Apologies if this is the wrong area to post this in, but...
I had purchased the Pokemon n3DS not too long ago and was going through the downgrade process so that I could install cfw on it, but I accidentally overlooked the files I were trying to install and wound up bricking my system due to installing the o3ds firmware on it. A couple of nice folks over at a irc chat informed me that my two remaining options for redemption were to either: a) Send it in to Nintendo and feign ignorance in an attempt to get them to fix/ship a new system since it's still under warranty, or b) See if it was possible to get someone to hardmod the system so they could see if flashing an o3ds header onto it would make it boot again.
Would there happen to be anyone I could possibly get to try this out, or is my best be to just bite the bullet and send it in to Nintendo?
